Africans who rejected and abandoned their ancestral gods


Africans who rejected and abandoned their ancestral gods – the most original and authentic of all gods – for the white man’s god. For centuries, the Vatican has been looking down on Africans with pity and disdain; and treating them like slow-developing children who are incapable of complicated and uncomplicated tasks. And indeed, other religious denominations and sects also look down on Africans. The basic problem of many Africans is that most are fools, imitators, and are always seeking approval from outside. No one is going to treat us with respect when we disown our own gods, myth, history, and traditions. No one! Their gods are not better than ours!

Africans had their own creation stories; and so did every “traditional society” on the face of the earth. Silly Africans, they condemned their own stories and belief system and then wholly adopted the stories from the Middle East (Islam and Christianity). We have forgotten that everything – everything – points to and confirms Africa as the beginning of mankind. We had our own creation stories, had our own gods, and had our own survival mechanism. For thousands of years, we survived. The biggest calamity which has befallen, and which will eventually destroy Africa and its people are Islam and Christianity. And any other imported religion and gods and belief systems.

John Henrik Clarke was infinitely right when he said, “Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.” The Church, especially, is destroying our mind and our continent.
